Committee waa almost equally divided
on this question. u was urged By those
supporting this departure THAI Il was
unfair 10 itself a. veil as unulse for the
paFty's interest to give 10 the States Of
tue south casting but = few thousand
Republioan votes, and to Congressional
Districts in the South casting no Re-
pahlicau votes, tbs same numbef OF
Representatives es the Republican States

Injustice II this 20 tbs Republican
States and Districts, bnt whether u
wsuid be the part Of party wisdom 10
change the basis nov, mBy not be 80
clear. Heretofore the South, practically
without Republican organization and
unable TO give the party ticket q single
electoral vote, has played an important
| part Ia the selection OF candidates, out
| Of all proportion 10 the number Of Re
puklioans represented by the Soaihern
delegates. Ga tbs other hand there e
the feeling which Is stroRg with
every member Of the party
NOT 10 40 anything which
woald In the least discourage the Re
publioAna 10 the South who have held
to she party IN the face Of 90 much
danger and disocugegemest. The feel
ing for q change In representation was
very strong &c the meeting Of the con-
mittee in 1854, and tut for General Lo.
Rap's opposition 10 10 q new basis Of
representation would have been adopt.
ed. II Is very likely that the matter will
be bFoaRht up at the meeting Of this
committee. and the change urged with
q great deal Of energy. IL u . good
subject for the party press 10 discuss, 10
the end that the members OF the Ma
tionai Committee may learn, IN some
degree at least, the We've and wishes Of
those whom they represent.
The calling Of this nesting e the be-
ginning for the campaign Of 1888. Can
didaies will now be developed very fast.
Il Is 10 be hoped, however, that the 60
/ tivitIes Of the great contest will nos be
pressed upon the people too soon. Late
Ia tbs winter, or early IN she Spring
viii Do soon enough for the active con
test. By that time the sctions OF Con
RFess and the Developments 10 the busi-
mess world will have made great deal
clearer what SORT OF Tsen the party will
want for lite eandidates.-IOtos State
